What is going on with 4 00:00:21,977 --> 00:00:26,377 Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Green and Trump? I thought they were also close, 5 00:00:26,697 --> 00:00:29,257 Speaker 1: but things not as close as they used to be. 6 00:00:29,297 --> 00:00:32,097 Speaker 2: Over there. We will discuss with our friend Ashley Brassfield. 7 00:00:32,497 --> 00:00:33,617 Speaker 2: She is a. 8 00:00:33,617 --> 00:00:37,897 Speaker 1: Reporter at the Daily Caller in DC, and she knows 9 00:00:37,937 --> 00:00:40,377 Speaker 1: all the things happening on Capitol Hill, including this one. 10 00:00:40,697 --> 00:00:42,937 Speaker 1: Is Ashley, good to see you again? What the heck 11 00:00:43,057 --> 00:00:45,417 Speaker 1: is going on here? There was a time not long 12 00:00:45,457 --> 00:00:48,817 Speaker 1: ago when MTG she even had the three letter you know, 13 00:00:48,857 --> 00:00:54,017 Speaker 1: the acronym right aoc MTG. MTG was like the queen 14 00:00:54,057 --> 00:00:56,457 Speaker 1: of Maga in the House of Representatives. 15 00:00:56,497 --> 00:00:59,217 Speaker 2: And now they're saying mean things about each other. What happened? 16 00:01:00,057 --> 00:01:03,137 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the political breakup of the year, I would say, 17 00:01:03,257 --> 00:01:06,537 Speaker 3: with MTG and President Trump. And yeah, so basically this 18 00:01:06,617 --> 00:01:08,417 Speaker 3: all started back. I think what a lot of the 19 00:01:08,457 --> 00:01:10,617 Speaker 3: reporting missing is. We saw a sixty minute interview last 20 00:01:10,697 --> 00:01:12,017 Speaker 3: night with her, and I think they missed a lot 21 00:01:12,057 --> 00:01:15,137 Speaker 3: of things. It wasn't just as all of a sudden explosion. 22 00:01:15,457 --> 00:01:17,337 Speaker 3: It seemed there was things leading up to it. And 23 00:01:17,417 --> 00:01:19,697 Speaker 3: I did a report on this and we looked into 24 00:01:20,017 --> 00:01:21,937 Speaker 3: kind of like what happened from the beginning of the 25 00:01:21,937 --> 00:01:26,017 Speaker 3: administration to now really and so what I found was, 26 00:01:26,097 --> 00:01:27,897 Speaker 3: you know, we had the cabinet members coming out well 27 00:01:28,097 --> 00:01:31,377 Speaker 3: MTG as we all know, a huge ally of President Trump. 28 00:01:31,457 --> 00:01:33,977 Speaker 3: She actually never got an endorsement when she first ran 29 00:01:34,017 --> 00:01:35,857 Speaker 3: for Congress in Georgia's fourteenth district. 30 00:01:35,857 --> 00:01:38,177 Speaker 4: I'm from that area, so I remember it very well. 31 00:01:38,457 --> 00:01:40,337 Speaker 3: So she kind of left Congress the same way she 32 00:01:40,417 --> 00:01:42,737 Speaker 3: came in without an endorsement from Trump, I would say, 33 00:01:42,857 --> 00:01:45,657 Speaker 3: So what happened was, you know, they'd never she never 34 00:01:45,657 --> 00:01:48,057 Speaker 3: got a cabinet level. She stayed in Congress. She kind 35 00:01:48,097 --> 00:01:51,457 Speaker 3: of headed the oversights DOGE sub committee, if you remember 36 00:01:51,457 --> 00:01:53,457 Speaker 3: when all that was going down, cutting all the wais 37 00:01:53,537 --> 00:01:55,977 Speaker 3: farm abuse, and so we kind of go on and 38 00:01:55,977 --> 00:01:58,737 Speaker 3: that kind of phases out as Elon exits the administration 39 00:01:58,857 --> 00:02:01,697 Speaker 3: at the time, and now we're talking about Senate and Georgia, 40 00:02:01,737 --> 00:02:04,177 Speaker 3: which was a huge race going on right now, and 41 00:02:04,377 --> 00:02:05,977 Speaker 3: you know, I think it would be wrong. I mean, 42 00:02:05,977 --> 00:02:08,017 Speaker 3: Marjorie Taylor Green and the state of Georgia. She's the 43 00:02:08,337 --> 00:02:10,977 Speaker 3: I would say head GOP female voice in the state, 44 00:02:11,217 --> 00:02:13,897 Speaker 3: so why not consider a Senate race at the time, 45 00:02:14,297 --> 00:02:16,497 Speaker 3: And from my reporting I found that she would. There 46 00:02:16,497 --> 00:02:19,017 Speaker 3: was a pulling that came out specifically from some people 47 00:02:19,057 --> 00:02:22,577 Speaker 3: in the administration or you know, friendlies in that area, 48 00:02:22,737 --> 00:02:24,737 Speaker 3: and they kind of were trying to guess do her favor, 49 00:02:24,817 --> 00:02:26,977 Speaker 3: is what I've heard, by showing her a poll saying 50 00:02:27,017 --> 00:02:29,577 Speaker 3: she was not going to lose in the general election, 51 00:02:30,097 --> 00:02:31,337 Speaker 3: showing her double digits down. 52 00:02:31,377 --> 00:02:33,937 Speaker 1: So I don't think she was that she was going 53 00:02:33,977 --> 00:02:35,857 Speaker 1: to lose. They showed her a poll saying you're you're 54 00:02:35,897 --> 00:02:37,497 Speaker 1: going to get smoked, basically, okay. 55 00:02:37,377 --> 00:02:39,897 Speaker 3: Keep going by double digits, by double digits, is what 56 00:02:39,897 --> 00:02:42,457 Speaker 3: I'm hearing. So kind of doing a favor there so 57 00:02:42,497 --> 00:02:44,857 Speaker 3: she doesn't have to get in the race embarrass her. 58 00:02:45,137 --> 00:02:47,097 Speaker 3: And I think she is seen as quite an ally 59 00:02:47,137 --> 00:02:49,577 Speaker 3: in Congress. I mean, she's pretty influential voice. You kind 60 00:02:49,577 --> 00:02:52,137 Speaker 3: of always are seeing, you know, the spat clips of 61 00:02:52,177 --> 00:02:54,697 Speaker 3: her and Jasmine Crockett going on. They talked about in 62 00:02:54,697 --> 00:02:57,417 Speaker 3: the sixty eight minute interview, and so you know, I 63 00:02:57,417 --> 00:02:59,937 Speaker 3: think that kind of was an upset right there a 64 00:03:00,017 --> 00:03:01,777 Speaker 3: little bit, and that kind of left a. 65 00:03:01,737 --> 00:03:02,537 Speaker 4: Wound in a way. 66 00:03:03,017 --> 00:03:05,177 Speaker 3: So I think that's the first moment that you probably saw, 67 00:03:05,817 --> 00:03:07,737 Speaker 3: and I don't think it's set well with her. So 68 00:03:08,337 --> 00:03:10,777 Speaker 3: going on, you know, we saw some separation probably happened 69 00:03:10,777 --> 00:03:13,937 Speaker 3: in the summertime over major issues started going on different 70 00:03:14,057 --> 00:03:17,897 Speaker 3: you know, podcasts, whether it be liberal media, conservative media, 71 00:03:18,337 --> 00:03:20,937 Speaker 3: and so you know, it was kind of I think 72 00:03:20,977 --> 00:03:23,297 Speaker 3: with immigration was one of the vocal things she was 73 00:03:23,337 --> 00:03:27,737 Speaker 3: talking about. I mean, Epstein, I don't think we can 74 00:03:27,737 --> 00:03:29,737 Speaker 3: forget about that. That was what the point was that 75 00:03:29,777 --> 00:03:31,897 Speaker 3: they were trying to emphasize. Was the breaking point when 76 00:03:31,897 --> 00:03:35,457 Speaker 3: she signed the Discharge resolution with Thomas Massey, Lauren Bobert, 77 00:03:35,537 --> 00:03:38,017 Speaker 3: and Nancy Mace. So that was seen as a hostile 78 00:03:38,057 --> 00:03:40,137 Speaker 3: act and that was directly quoted from the White House 79 00:03:40,177 --> 00:03:42,857 Speaker 3: at the time. So multiple issues that she separated from 80 00:03:42,857 --> 00:03:44,697 Speaker 3: the president on. But you know, I talked to a 81 00:03:44,737 --> 00:03:46,897 Speaker 3: lot of people and this is these are still issues 82 00:03:46,897 --> 00:03:48,817 Speaker 3: we're talking about right now, and it is a question 83 00:03:48,897 --> 00:03:52,457 Speaker 3: of Okay, did she see the puck before them admin 84 00:03:52,497 --> 00:03:55,777 Speaker 3: did on things like affordability, the housing crisis going on 85 00:03:55,817 --> 00:03:57,977 Speaker 3: the country, and kind of things that gen Z are 86 00:03:58,057 --> 00:04:00,097 Speaker 3: very you know, hyped upon, and we're seeing some divides 87 00:04:00,137 --> 00:04:01,017 Speaker 3: in the conservative movement. 88 00:04:01,017 --> 00:04:01,737 Speaker 4: I would say right. 89 00:04:01,617 --> 00:04:04,737 Speaker 1: Now she was, yeah, she I remember she was very 90 00:04:04,777 --> 00:04:08,497 Speaker 1: fired up over the Epstein file stuff. Yes, yeah, I 91 00:04:08,537 --> 00:04:11,617 Speaker 1: would she she's I've been big on the Israel committed 92 00:04:11,657 --> 00:04:14,977 Speaker 1: a genocide in Gaza thing, which yeah, I didn't see 93 00:04:14,977 --> 00:04:18,057 Speaker 1: that one coming. How did that at any background or 94 00:04:18,057 --> 00:04:20,297 Speaker 1: any insight on that one that that seemed to catch 95 00:04:20,337 --> 00:04:22,057 Speaker 1: some of maga, I think by surprise. 96 00:04:22,777 --> 00:04:24,617 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm glad you brought that up. I did hear. 97 00:04:24,697 --> 00:04:27,217 Speaker 3: You know, I think some riffs were happening with Mike Johnson. 98 00:04:27,257 --> 00:04:29,177 Speaker 3: You've seen that, even with the least aphonics, which I've 99 00:04:29,177 --> 00:04:32,017 Speaker 3: found interesting. But that issue, you know, Congress voted i 100 00:04:32,017 --> 00:04:35,817 Speaker 3: think about twenty two times on a resolution to you know, 101 00:04:36,137 --> 00:04:38,937 Speaker 3: take down anti Semitism, and I think there was growing 102 00:04:38,977 --> 00:04:40,897 Speaker 3: frustration with that because you know, it was just kind 103 00:04:40,937 --> 00:04:44,137 Speaker 3: of this facade show that oh we just we'd announced 104 00:04:44,177 --> 00:04:47,057 Speaker 3: anti semitism and nothing was really getting done. So I 105 00:04:47,057 --> 00:04:49,617 Speaker 3: think there was frustration there that it was continuously in 106 00:04:49,657 --> 00:04:51,657 Speaker 3: her time in Congress, being brought to the floor, and 107 00:04:51,697 --> 00:04:54,177 Speaker 3: it was you know, you can denounce it, obviously, but 108 00:04:54,217 --> 00:04:56,257 Speaker 3: twenty two times I think she was thinking maybe it 109 00:04:56,297 --> 00:04:58,897 Speaker 3: was overkill, and there was frustration there because of the 110 00:04:58,897 --> 00:05:01,937 Speaker 3: factors like affordability were not being considered at the time. 111 00:05:01,937 --> 00:05:03,737 Speaker 3: And I know that's a buzzword for both sides, but 112 00:05:04,057 --> 00:05:06,537 Speaker 3: I mean we see now President Trump's going on affordability tour, 113 00:05:06,657 --> 00:05:08,897 Speaker 3: so you know, seeing that Puck I think was the 114 00:05:08,897 --> 00:05:11,657 Speaker 3: main thing there in that issue. But you know, there 115 00:05:11,737 --> 00:05:14,177 Speaker 3: was hostility I would say, with the Speaker and that 116 00:05:14,417 --> 00:05:16,977 Speaker 3: really came to it, and with President Trump and her fighting. 117 00:05:17,097 --> 00:05:21,137 Speaker 3: And also I think another factor that's misguided here was 118 00:05:21,177 --> 00:05:23,417 Speaker 3: the fact, you know, she would take shots at White 119 00:05:23,417 --> 00:05:27,857 Speaker 3: House staff, and to a certain extent, she could continue 120 00:05:27,897 --> 00:05:30,137 Speaker 3: to do that, not taking a direct shot at President Trump. 121 00:05:30,577 --> 00:05:33,057 Speaker 3: But you know, these are people around the president. And 122 00:05:33,097 --> 00:05:36,457 Speaker 3: also when it comes to deals like Argentino for specifically, 123 00:05:36,777 --> 00:05:39,377 Speaker 3: you know, you can't criticize Justice staff when he's the 124 00:05:39,417 --> 00:05:41,417 Speaker 3: one that's you know, his thing is negotiating. 125 00:05:41,457 --> 00:05:45,297 Speaker 1: I would say, yeah, I mean, you've got now the president, 126 00:05:46,177 --> 00:05:47,497 Speaker 1: this is this is for the New York Post that 127 00:05:47,537 --> 00:05:54,817 Speaker 1: a demanding an apology from sixty minutes and also very 128 00:05:54,897 --> 00:05:57,897 Speaker 1: upset with so that's over the Hunter Biden laptop, which 129 00:05:57,937 --> 00:06:01,297 Speaker 1: that has not his positioning on that certainly hasn't changed, 130 00:06:01,817 --> 00:06:05,697 Speaker 1: and fumed about outgoing GOP Rep. Margie Taylor Green and 131 00:06:05,817 --> 00:06:09,137 Speaker 1: called her a trader. In a truth social ran, he wrote, 132 00:06:09,257 --> 00:06:14,937 Speaker 1: the only reason Marjorie Trader Brown Green turns brown what 133 00:06:15,377 --> 00:06:19,817 Speaker 1: under stress went bad all caps is that she was 134 00:06:19,937 --> 00:06:23,817 Speaker 1: jilted by the President of the United States. Certainly not 135 00:06:23,977 --> 00:06:26,537 Speaker 1: the first time she has been jilted. I actually didn't 136 00:06:26,577 --> 00:06:28,817 Speaker 1: see this until you came, dear. 137 00:06:29,297 --> 00:06:31,817 Speaker 2: Wow. Trump is very unhappy. 138 00:06:31,337 --> 00:06:33,457 Speaker 4: With her, very unhappy. 139 00:06:33,497 --> 00:06:35,737 Speaker 3: You know. I think everybody was expecting, you know, this 140 00:06:35,817 --> 00:06:37,617 Speaker 3: few to kind of come to an and eventually and 141 00:06:37,657 --> 00:06:40,017 Speaker 3: I'm not sure you know, there's bad blood there. We 142 00:06:40,097 --> 00:06:42,177 Speaker 3: saw Elon and him kind of make up in ways. 143 00:06:42,857 --> 00:06:45,017 Speaker 3: But you know, I mean, Marjorie Taylor Green, she supported 144 00:06:45,017 --> 00:06:47,257 Speaker 3: Trump when he really didn't support her. So I think 145 00:06:47,417 --> 00:06:49,937 Speaker 3: it is kind of a feeling of us being scorn 146 00:06:50,017 --> 00:06:51,457 Speaker 3: in a lot of ways. And just kind of to 147 00:06:51,457 --> 00:06:53,897 Speaker 3: give you some insight, I think there is She's made 148 00:06:53,937 --> 00:06:56,857 Speaker 3: some comments specifically at you know, men and saying, you 149 00:06:56,897 --> 00:06:59,377 Speaker 3: know that they're weak men, and she won't say direct names. 150 00:06:59,377 --> 00:07:01,217 Speaker 3: There's just a bunch of weak men in Congress. But 151 00:07:01,617 --> 00:07:03,337 Speaker 3: you know, to frame it as well, for the state 152 00:07:03,377 --> 00:07:05,897 Speaker 3: of Georgia, you have Governor Brian Kimp at the time, 153 00:07:06,217 --> 00:07:08,737 Speaker 3: especially after the twenty twenty election where you saw Trump 154 00:07:08,737 --> 00:07:11,457 Speaker 3: and him feuding, and Marjorie Taylor Green took Trump's side 155 00:07:11,497 --> 00:07:13,577 Speaker 3: on that. So I don't think she's made a bunch 156 00:07:13,617 --> 00:07:17,977 Speaker 3: of friends with people like Governor Kemp and even others 157 00:07:18,017 --> 00:07:20,217 Speaker 3: that are in Congress that kind of have tried to 158 00:07:20,217 --> 00:07:21,417 Speaker 3: get their way in Georgia. 159 00:07:21,497 --> 00:07:23,017 Speaker 4: I don't think she's friends with a lot of them. 160 00:07:23,057 --> 00:07:24,777 Speaker 3: So I think she's taking shots in that in and 161 00:07:24,817 --> 00:07:26,497 Speaker 3: I don't know how good a messaging that is, but 162 00:07:26,577 --> 00:07:28,297 Speaker 3: I mean that's a factor as well.

It is great stuff, all right, Ashley. 187 00:08:39,017 --> 00:08:44,337 Speaker 1: Jasmine Crockett is seriously thinking that she is going to 188 00:08:44,417 --> 00:08:48,417 Speaker 1: be able to run for Senate and people might vote 189 00:08:48,417 --> 00:08:49,737 Speaker 1: for her. Tell me more about this. 190 00:08:50,857 --> 00:08:53,057 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, this is the state of Texas we're 191 00:08:53,057 --> 00:08:53,657 Speaker 4: talking about. 192 00:08:53,897 --> 00:08:55,577 Speaker 3: And it makes me laugh because I think the only 193 00:08:55,817 --> 00:08:57,937 Speaker 3: one they thought had a chance was Beto Arouric, And 194 00:08:57,977 --> 00:09:00,817 Speaker 3: now you have kind of Jasmin Crockett who's a very 195 00:09:00,977 --> 00:09:03,057 Speaker 3: vocal voice in Congress. I think you would equate her 196 00:09:03,057 --> 00:09:05,737 Speaker 3: into the AOC bubble if anything, and talk about two 197 00:09:05,737 --> 00:09:07,737 Speaker 3: people that spat a lot was Marjorie Taylor Green and 198 00:09:07,817 --> 00:09:11,377 Speaker 3: Josmin Crockett. But you know, she's got this, she puts 199 00:09:11,377 --> 00:09:13,377 Speaker 3: on these you know, kind of facades. I feel like 200 00:09:13,417 --> 00:09:15,577 Speaker 3: a lot of the time, you know, whether whatever room 201 00:09:15,657 --> 00:09:17,697 Speaker 3: she's in, you know, I think if she's talking to 202 00:09:17,777 --> 00:09:19,697 Speaker 3: a group of you know, African American, she kind of 203 00:09:19,697 --> 00:09:23,377 Speaker 3: puts on this sassy aspect about her and kind of 204 00:09:23,417 --> 00:09:25,457 Speaker 3: tries to appeal for them. But she I think her education, 205 00:09:25,497 --> 00:09:28,897 Speaker 3: if I'm correct, is a lot of higher up education. 206 00:09:29,177 --> 00:09:31,657 Speaker 3: I don't think she came from a poor background to 207 00:09:31,657 --> 00:09:32,257 Speaker 3: say the least. 208 00:09:32,257 --> 00:09:35,697 Speaker 1: So it's fancy, a fancy private school is what you're 209 00:09:35,737 --> 00:09:36,257 Speaker 1: referring to. 210 00:09:36,857 --> 00:09:39,137 Speaker 3: Yes, and of course law school as well, so that's 211 00:09:39,177 --> 00:09:42,257 Speaker 3: not that's not cheap either. So it's a little confusing 212 00:09:42,257 --> 00:09:44,617 Speaker 3: to me how she would appeal to voters in Texas 213 00:09:44,657 --> 00:09:47,657 Speaker 3: and specifically where it's a very red state. In my opinion, 214 00:09:47,817 --> 00:09:49,457 Speaker 3: I think if you want to look at a Canada, 215 00:09:49,537 --> 00:09:51,017 Speaker 3: that might be a little bit more risky as this 216 00:09:51,097 --> 00:09:54,257 Speaker 3: James Talerico individual from the Democrat side. I think he's 217 00:09:54,417 --> 00:09:57,097 Speaker 3: tried to become a preacher, and he's I think from 218 00:09:57,217 --> 00:09:58,017 Speaker 3: Austin area. 219 00:09:58,097 --> 00:09:59,857 Speaker 4: He's a state legislator or state senator. 220 00:10:00,057 --> 00:10:02,337 Speaker 3: He was on Joe Rogan and I could tell from 221 00:10:02,337 --> 00:10:05,097 Speaker 3: that interview I kind of read it really soon after. 222 00:10:05,137 --> 00:10:06,377 Speaker 3: I was like, he's going to try and make a 223 00:10:06,377 --> 00:10:08,137 Speaker 3: bit himself. So she's got to go up in the 224 00:10:08,137 --> 00:10:11,457 Speaker 3: primary against tech types like him. You know, he's a 225 00:10:11,457 --> 00:10:14,257 Speaker 3: white male, tries to say that he's, you know, going 226 00:10:14,337 --> 00:10:16,217 Speaker 3: to be a preacher. He's got some stuff come out 227 00:10:16,257 --> 00:10:19,657 Speaker 3: interesting enough about following only fans models, so it's it's 228 00:10:19,697 --> 00:10:20,417 Speaker 3: an interesting group. 229 00:10:21,017 --> 00:10:23,417 Speaker 1: He goes the guy that got Della free, following the 230 00:10:23,497 --> 00:10:24,617 Speaker 1: only fans. 231 00:10:25,137 --> 00:10:25,977 Speaker 2: Models or whatever. 232 00:10:25,977 --> 00:10:27,737 Speaker 1: I don't know if bottles is even really the word, 233 00:10:27,777 --> 00:10:30,177 Speaker 1: but yeah, wow, okay. 234 00:10:30,057 --> 00:10:32,057 Speaker 4: Yeah, creators whatever you want to call it. 235 00:10:32,337 --> 00:10:37,977 Speaker 1: Yeah, only fans something or others. That is a remarkable. 236 00:10:37,377 --> 00:10:37,977 Speaker 2: State of affairs. 237 00:10:38,097 --> 00:10:41,297 Speaker 3: But anyway, another funny, another funny thing about Jasmine Crockett. 238 00:10:41,297 --> 00:10:43,897 Speaker 3: You have to remember too, her most recent uh I 239 00:10:43,897 --> 00:10:46,817 Speaker 3: guess you know, mistake in the media was her talking 240 00:10:46,897 --> 00:10:49,817 Speaker 3: about Lee Zelden getting a contribution from Jeffrey Epstein. But 241 00:10:49,857 --> 00:10:53,297 Speaker 3: it was actually a doctor Jeffrey Epstein in New York City. 242 00:10:53,297 --> 00:10:55,457 Speaker 3: So that's what we're dealing with Jasmin Crockett, and you know, 243 00:10:55,537 --> 00:10:57,697 Speaker 3: trying to double down of oh, we got to figure 244 00:10:57,737 --> 00:10:59,617 Speaker 3: out who this guy is instead of just saying I've 245 00:10:59,617 --> 00:11:00,457 Speaker 3: got it wrong. You know. 246 00:11:00,617 --> 00:11:02,617 Speaker 4: So that's the type of person Jasmin Crockett is. 247 00:11:02,657 --> 00:11:05,017 Speaker 1: Well, you know that when she when she got caught 248 00:11:05,257 --> 00:11:08,177 Speaker 1: and and everyone realized that this was I spent a 249 00:11:08,177 --> 00:11:10,577 Speaker 1: good chunk of time on radio talking about that story. 250 00:11:10,577 --> 00:11:11,857 Speaker 2: I'm glad you reminded me of it. 251 00:11:12,657 --> 00:11:15,657 Speaker 1: I went I went back and I was finding, well, 252 00:11:15,817 --> 00:11:17,977 Speaker 1: how what's the cleanup that she's going to do on this? 253 00:11:18,297 --> 00:11:20,977 Speaker 2: It'd be like, usually be all my staff, right, as 254 00:11:21,017 --> 00:11:21,457 Speaker 2: my staff. 255 00:11:21,537 --> 00:11:23,337 Speaker 1: She did throw the staff under the bus a little bit, 256 00:11:23,337 --> 00:11:25,257 Speaker 1: but then she did I didn't say it was that, 257 00:11:25,417 --> 00:11:26,737 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein. 258 00:11:26,417 --> 00:11:31,777 Speaker 2: She actually pulled. She actually pulled the I said, Jeffrey, yeah, 259 00:11:31,777 --> 00:11:32,617 Speaker 2: it's not wrong. 260 00:11:33,817 --> 00:11:35,977 Speaker 3: Yes, And she always throws her staff under the bus. 261 00:11:35,977 --> 00:11:37,457 Speaker 3: I mean, these are the people that have to carry 262 00:11:37,497 --> 00:11:40,137 Speaker 3: her purse around. So in Congress, it's kind of well 263 00:11:40,177 --> 00:11:42,817 Speaker 3: known within the Hill that she's kind of got that 264 00:11:42,857 --> 00:11:45,657 Speaker 3: personality about her. But yeah, I don't think it's gonna 265 00:11:45,657 --> 00:11:48,377 Speaker 3: sit well with Texas voters. I mean it's a red state, 266 00:11:48,657 --> 00:11:51,737 Speaker 3: and I know people worried about after a bunch of Californians, 267 00:11:51,777 --> 00:11:53,377 Speaker 3: you know, moved there after COVID that it was going 268 00:11:53,417 --> 00:11:53,937 Speaker 3: to turn blue. 269 00:11:53,977 --> 00:11:56,377 Speaker 4: Well not even Beto or it can make it turn blue. 270 00:11:56,497 --> 00:11:59,657 Speaker 4: So you know, what is it? What are you gonna do? 271 00:11:59,697 --> 00:12:02,537 Speaker 2: You know there's a famous line in now that you're 272 00:12:02,577 --> 00:12:03,057 Speaker 2: way too. 273 00:12:02,897 --> 00:12:04,737 Speaker 1: Young for this, But some of our listeners on what 274 00:12:04,737 --> 00:12:09,657 Speaker 1: I'm talking about the show Cheers where they have the 275 00:12:09,697 --> 00:12:14,697 Speaker 1: guy Cliff says he's on Jeopardy and they ask and 276 00:12:14,937 --> 00:12:17,417 Speaker 1: that the line is they're trying to find out who 277 00:12:17,457 --> 00:12:19,297 Speaker 1: the people are, Like he's you know what the answer is, 278 00:12:19,297 --> 00:12:20,937 Speaker 1: and he goes, three people who have never been in 279 00:12:20,937 --> 00:12:21,417 Speaker 1: my kitchen? 280 00:12:21,497 --> 00:12:26,257 Speaker 2: Is his answer technically true? Right? It's like, who are 281 00:12:26,257 --> 00:12:28,697 Speaker 2: the signers of the Declaration of independence? Three people who 282 00:12:28,737 --> 00:12:30,057 Speaker 2: have never been in my kitchen? You know. 283 00:12:30,097 --> 00:12:33,417 Speaker 1: It's like Jasmine Krackton went with the you know, I 284 00:12:33,457 --> 00:12:35,377 Speaker 1: did say it was Jeffrey Epstein and there is a 285 00:12:35,457 --> 00:12:39,337 Speaker 1: doctor Jeffrey Epstein. So she had she had that going 286 00:12:39,417 --> 00:12:40,337 Speaker 1: for her, which is nice. 287 00:12:41,177 --> 00:12:43,137 Speaker 3: Yeah, you can help, but cringe. I mean, you have 288 00:12:43,217 --> 00:12:44,457 Speaker 3: to you have the two primaries you have. 289 00:12:44,417 --> 00:12:44,857 Speaker 4: To worry about. 290 00:12:44,857 --> 00:12:47,337 Speaker 3: There's so many things happening in states all over the place. 291 00:12:47,377 --> 00:12:49,217 Speaker 3: But even on the Republican side, you have corn and 292 00:12:49,257 --> 00:12:52,097 Speaker 3: Paxton and Wesley Hunt dueling it out on that side. 293 00:12:52,137 --> 00:12:54,177 Speaker 3: So I think that will be interesting. And even if 294 00:12:54,217 --> 00:12:56,057 Speaker 3: she can survive the primary in Texas, that's I guess. 295 00:12:56,057 --> 00:12:58,577 Speaker 1: My next question are you are you following this Indiana 296 00:12:58,617 --> 00:13:01,737 Speaker 1: redistricting thing at all or is this too boring for you? 297 00:13:01,777 --> 00:13:04,737 Speaker 3: No?

Why is it that when 331 00:14:28,377 --> 00:14:31,017 Speaker 1: Republicans can do things that will help Republicans, they find 332 00:14:31,057 --> 00:14:34,097 Speaker 1: ways to be like, no, that's mean to the Democrats, 333 00:14:34,417 --> 00:14:35,937 Speaker 1: Like why wouldn't they just be a district to the 334 00:14:35,937 --> 00:14:37,417 Speaker 1: maximum GOP advantage? 335 00:14:38,177 --> 00:14:39,657 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think I did a piece on this 336 00:14:39,697 --> 00:14:41,817 Speaker 3: a while back, you know, when it was specifically talking 337 00:14:41,857 --> 00:14:44,657 Speaker 3: about the Prop fifty going on in California as a 338 00:14:45,017 --> 00:14:48,217 Speaker 3: I guess a newsom trying to battle back against Texas 339 00:14:48,257 --> 00:14:51,057 Speaker 3: is what he says. But I think historically Democrats have 340 00:14:51,377 --> 00:14:53,857 Speaker 3: used an advantage. I mean, you look at Illinois with Pritzker, 341 00:14:54,737 --> 00:14:56,937 Speaker 3: and we saw that being a big issue during that 342 00:14:56,977 --> 00:14:57,617 Speaker 3: fight itself. 343 00:14:57,617 --> 00:14:58,457 Speaker 4: But I think you're right. 344 00:14:58,497 --> 00:15:01,617 Speaker 3: I mean, this is going directly against what President Trump wants, 345 00:15:01,697 --> 00:15:03,457 Speaker 3: and so they're taking a lot of heat from it, 346 00:15:03,497 --> 00:15:06,057 Speaker 3: is what I'm seeing. But you know, Indiana has seven 347 00:15:06,097 --> 00:15:09,697 Speaker 3: Republicans to Democrats. These two Democrat districts, I believe it's 348 00:15:09,697 --> 00:15:13,057 Speaker 3: splitting Indianapolis if I can remember correctly, into four segments, 349 00:15:13,177 --> 00:15:15,097 Speaker 3: and that's kind of the blue district. 350 00:15:14,817 --> 00:15:18,697 Speaker 4: That they're worried about. But I guess what are the listeners. 351 00:15:18,737 --> 00:15:20,977 Speaker 3: I want to ask you, what are they so angry about, 352 00:15:20,977 --> 00:15:23,937 Speaker 3: I mean, against the state leader's stance going against it. 353 00:15:24,337 --> 00:15:27,977 Speaker 1: Yeah, they just feel like they feel like when you 354 00:15:27,977 --> 00:15:31,057 Speaker 1: brought up Illinois, for example, you look at that map 355 00:15:31,097 --> 00:15:32,897 Speaker 1: and it's laughable, right. I mean, it's just meant to be. 356 00:15:33,577 --> 00:15:37,777 Speaker 1: They're just doing whatever they can. But somehow Republicans, when 357 00:15:37,817 --> 00:15:40,697 Speaker 1: they have a clear field, they have the clear advantage, 358 00:15:40,817 --> 00:15:43,617 Speaker 1: they're like, well, we don't want to do too much 359 00:15:43,657 --> 00:15:46,137 Speaker 1: of what the Democrats do when it comes to redistricting. 360 00:15:46,497 --> 00:15:48,657 Speaker 1: And I think people get pretty ticked off, especially when 361 00:15:48,697 --> 00:15:50,457 Speaker 1: that's happening in red states, like those of us who 362 00:15:50,497 --> 00:15:52,377 Speaker 1: are fighting it out in purple states. So the Florida's 363 00:15:52,377 --> 00:15:54,937 Speaker 1: pretty red now fight it out in purple states, feel like, 364 00:15:55,337 --> 00:15:57,337 Speaker 1: if only we could do that here. So I think 365 00:15:57,337 --> 00:16:01,057 Speaker 1: there's just a frustration that some people don't understand what 366 00:16:01,057 --> 00:16:01,537 Speaker 1: time it is. 367 00:16:02,777 --> 00:16:06,337 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's this I guess establishment thought process is my 368 00:16:06,377 --> 00:16:08,777 Speaker 3: thought on it, I guess, and I agree. 369 00:16:08,817 --> 00:16:09,097 Speaker 4: I think. 370 00:16:09,177 --> 00:16:12,257 Speaker 3: I mean, you had people like a former attorney general 371 00:16:12,257 --> 00:16:14,777 Speaker 3: for Obama go to places like Alabama to fight a 372 00:16:14,777 --> 00:16:16,817 Speaker 3: battle like this, and a lot of people don't remember that. 373 00:16:17,097 --> 00:16:19,497 Speaker 3: But I mean, if you are looking at you're looking 374 00:16:19,537 --> 00:16:22,017 Speaker 3: at the House that's kind of on teetering right now, 375 00:16:22,177 --> 00:16:25,217 Speaker 3: read going into the twenty twenty six election due to retirements, 376 00:16:25,737 --> 00:16:27,177 Speaker 3: special elections going on. 377 00:16:27,337 --> 00:16:29,177 Speaker 4: So I mean this is the time. 378 00:16:28,977 --> 00:16:31,217 Speaker 3: To you know, for Republicans to get ahead in this 379 00:16:31,337 --> 00:16:33,737 Speaker 3: sense and to do what needs to be done on 380 00:16:33,777 --> 00:16:36,377 Speaker 3: their end. I mean, Democrats have set the standard in 381 00:16:36,377 --> 00:16:37,977 Speaker 3: the precedent in my opinion, in this case. 382 00:16:38,337 --> 00:16:39,377 Speaker 4: So I mean you're right. 383 00:16:39,457 --> 00:16:41,977 Speaker 3: I think there is an issue when you know state 384 00:16:42,017 --> 00:16:44,537 Speaker 3: Republicans don't want to put their best foot forward and 385 00:16:44,577 --> 00:16:46,697 Speaker 3: make the change. And I mean, I can understand why 386 00:16:46,777 --> 00:16:48,937 Speaker 3: Republican voters are have an issue with this. 387 00:16:49,577 --> 00:16:51,657 Speaker 1: But it's always the case that some of some of 388 00:16:51,697 --> 00:16:54,497 Speaker 1: the worst Republicans. And I actually will credit my friend 389 00:16:54,617 --> 00:16:57,297 Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly with constantly pounding this drum some of the 390 00:16:57,337 --> 00:16:58,177 Speaker 1: worst Republicans. 391 00:16:58,177 --> 00:16:59,537 Speaker 2: You get an elected officer. 392 00:16:59,257 --> 00:17:03,857 Speaker 1: In the reddest states, Yeah, you see Utah, Wyoming. They 393 00:17:03,857 --> 00:17:07,697 Speaker 1: give us these Republicans and you go way second, this is. 394 00:17:07,657 --> 00:17:09,177 Speaker 2: What the voters wanted in your state. 395 00:17:09,217 --> 00:17:11,417 Speaker 1: But I think it's just it's easy to get complacent 396 00:17:11,457 --> 00:17:14,177 Speaker 1: and lazy when everyone around you is also a Republican. 397 00:17:15,097 --> 00:17:17,337 Speaker 3: Well make it a point too, to realize, you know, 398 00:17:17,377 --> 00:17:19,537 Speaker 3: these are the people you're putting in an elected office. 399 00:17:19,617 --> 00:17:21,257 Speaker 3: I mean, you got to understand the type of people 400 00:17:21,297 --> 00:17:22,817 Speaker 3: that you're electing. And I say this all the time. 401 00:17:23,017 --> 00:17:25,217 Speaker 3: I have a mug that says this smug works harder 402 00:17:25,257 --> 00:17:27,217 Speaker 3: than Congress. And I mean it's the people that you're 403 00:17:27,257 --> 00:17:30,097 Speaker 3: putting into Congress that you have to worry about and 404 00:17:30,137 --> 00:17:31,817 Speaker 3: the type of people if they're going to get things done, 405 00:17:31,817 --> 00:17:33,137 Speaker 3: and how they're going to act when they get up 406 00:17:33,177 --> 00:17:36,017 Speaker 3: to DC. And I think that's a high standard to 407 00:17:36,057 --> 00:17:37,857 Speaker 3: hold because I mean it's a place where it's a 408 00:17:37,897 --> 00:17:39,457 Speaker 3: swamp and it will kind of engal for you if 409 00:17:39,497 --> 00:17:41,697 Speaker 3: you're not careful. So having a higher standard for the 410 00:17:41,697 --> 00:17:44,097 Speaker 3: people you're putting in office, and that goes for state office, 411 00:17:44,137 --> 00:17:46,737 Speaker 3: I think as well. But you know, the voters have 412 00:17:46,817 --> 00:17:48,577 Speaker 3: to be more vocal about it. And you know, we 413 00:17:48,657 --> 00:17:51,457 Speaker 3: talked about this too with the legal immigrants voting with 414 00:17:51,497 --> 00:17:53,577 Speaker 3: the census. I believe jd Vance brought this up in 415 00:17:53,577 --> 00:17:55,617 Speaker 3: an interview with Joe Rogan, and that's a huge issue 416 00:17:55,697 --> 00:17:58,377 Speaker 3: itself too, where you know, the headcount within houses that 417 00:17:58,377 --> 00:18:00,257 Speaker 3: are counting legal immigrants. I mean, that's an issue that 418 00:18:00,297 --> 00:18:02,697 Speaker 3: Republicans could be fixing right now so it's not a 419 00:18:02,737 --> 00:18:03,737 Speaker 3: repeat in the future. 420 00:18:04,777 --> 00:18:08,777 Speaker 1: And yet Republicans sometimes you wonder do they even want 421 00:18:08,777 --> 00:18:09,977 Speaker 1: to win that? 422 00:18:10,057 --> 00:18:11,737 Speaker 2: That's a question I get for people all the time. 423 00:18:11,857 --> 00:18:14,017 Speaker 2: I'm like, h depends on when you have. 424 00:18:14,097 --> 00:18:17,137 Speaker 4: Well, and that's that. I mean, what are Democrats doing 425 00:18:17,217 --> 00:18:17,537 Speaker 4: right now? 426 00:18:17,617 --> 00:18:20,137 Speaker 3: Right? And they're just kind of you know, the parties 427 00:18:20,137 --> 00:18:23,017 Speaker 3: in fighting currently with Republicans. I don't think Democrats. I 428 00:18:23,017 --> 00:18:24,657 Speaker 3: think they have their own war going on with between 429 00:18:24,657 --> 00:18:26,977 Speaker 3: the establishment and progressive types. I think we've talked about 430 00:18:26,977 --> 00:18:30,337 Speaker 3: Grand Planner and May and you know Chuck Schumer, the 431 00:18:30,417 --> 00:18:33,017 Speaker 3: establishments types. They have their own battle going on right now, 432 00:18:33,057 --> 00:18:35,497 Speaker 3: the campus side, which one they want to endorse, like 433 00:18:35,577 --> 00:18:38,057 Speaker 3: Mom Donnie, the more socialist type, or the more establishment 434 00:18:38,097 --> 00:18:39,137 Speaker 3: type like Chuck Schumer. 435 00:18:40,417 --> 00:18:40,977 Speaker 2: There you go. 436 00:18:41,497 --> 00:18:44,577 Speaker 1: Our final sponsor is Preborn and they do amazing work. 437 00:18:44,617 --> 00:18:48,137 Speaker 1: This nonprofit has saved over three hundred and fifty thousand 438 00:18:48,137 --> 00:18:51,417 Speaker 1: babies lives.

Twenty eight dollars from any of 446 00:19:13,377 --> 00:19:16,577 Speaker 1: you listening today would help one of these moms get 447 00:19:16,617 --> 00:19:19,817 Speaker 1: that ultrasound, which can save lives, has saved three hundred 448 00:19:19,817 --> 00:19:22,377 Speaker 1: and fifty thousand lives to date.
